I like Dylan Wang so I watch this drama, it’s Hedi as main lead but the drama script is bad why you set the…
That’s a lot of words just to say you don’t understand how themes work. You are who they talk about when people say that there’s no media literacy anymore btwThe FL’s story arc is fully, wholly, completely one of breaking the “chains” of subjugation (father, previous emperor, current emperor, hierarchy, social status, expectations etc etc) so she can live as a *person* instead of as an accessory.this story cannot be told if she wasn’t fighting to break the chains that bind her.
Ooof. would’ve loved a drama where they gave the ml his white-hair turn half-way through and not at the eleventh hour. the whole 2-dementional bad guys vs 2-dimensional good guys got boring after ep 15. if the ml could have had some real moral ambiguity, I think the show could have been great.
if you love the first half but start to feel like it’s telling a flat, boring story and you’re holding out for depth. I suggest you cut your losses and look for the next show.
What did you see the relevant themes surrounding Miles Wei character to be?
His through line was extremely clear imo:
He doesn’t like Mudan, he likes the illusion of control over his own life that he has when he can control Mudan. In part 2, this continues and culminates in the scene with the weak willed scholar who he saw himself in (and he hates himself). He lost everything he held in reverence… his ideals (which were always based in his fantasy more than reality- like how his mom kept stealing Mudan’s dowry to grease the wheels for his career) and so he clung ever more tightly to the fantasy of Mudan.
Im not trying to get you to see it my way, im actually just curious what *you* thought the theme was supposed to be and that you felt was dropped in part 2.
Beautiful drama, great story, great acting. My objection and a really turn of for this one is to discover that…
You genuinely need to stop watching any and all TV. If you cannot dissociate “acting” from “real life” you may have much much deeper problems that need to be addressed.
Anyone else find themselves ridiculously attracted to satan and hoping for more screen time? Just me?
All the ppl clamoring for a second season need to put that energy into a Satan spin off where he’s just being evil and smoldering for the camera thankyouverymuch

“So does this mean we get a second season” um no this means you don’t get to be spoon fed an ending
Btw not a spoiler lol. You don’t have to hide your comment behind the tag
Lacking a romance, would Bitna have become human-like? Would she have cried?
It’s more like the romance was the catalyst for her emotions and character arc
